He is one of the key figures in kremlin propaganda, directly fulfilling the ideological task of the putin regime to form a convenient and profitable worldview of society for the kremlin elite regarding the perception and whitewashing of russian military (armed) aggression.
In the Western media, he is known as the "patriarch of russian propaganda".
Publicly supports russia's war against Ukraine, the annexation of the Ukrainian Crimea, putin's policy and the kremlin regime, spreading typical narratives of kremlin propaganda. Known for his anti-Ukrainian and anti-American rhetoric. In particular, he publicly stated that "Ukraine does not exist. Now it is a virtual concept, a virtual country", "failed state" and that "russia is the only country in the world that is really capable of turning the USA into radioactive ash".
In March 2024, on the eve of the presidential elections in the russian federation, he recorded a large complimentary interview with putin, in which he raised the topics of war against Ukraine, negotiations and the likelihood of the use of nuclear weapons.
The international TV channel "russia Today" with a multilingual network of information and documentary programs, financed by the russian government mainly from the state budget, under the leadership of Kiselyov manipulates socially significant information, systematically spreads typical narratives of kremlin propaganda, fakes and disinformation about Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine, discredits the Ukrainian authorities and directly adheres to the foreign policy line of the russian government.
In 2023, Kiselyov took part in the 5th World Media Summit in China and stated that the nature of the so-called "special military operation" of russia in Ukraine became global due to the fact that the US and NATO "armed Kyiv, staged a "bloody coup" there and raised an entire generation of nationalists".
In July 2014, the Security Service of Ukraine opened criminal proceedings against Kiselyov under the article "financing terrorism, promoting terrorist activities".
Has real estate in the temporarily occupied Crimea.
Kiselyov's brother lives in the USA. Kiselyov's nephew, a German citizen, took a direct part in the russian-Ukrainian war in Donbas on the side of the so-called "L/DPR", for which he was sentenced to imprisonment in Germany.
